Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker won his second Grammy earlier this month, taking home the award for Best Dance\/Electronic Recording category for the Deadbeat<\/em> single \u201cEnd of Summer.\u201d But, as the artist revealed in a recent interview, he missed the whole thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I\u2019m going to be dead honest with you. I forgot they were even on,\u201d Parker said of the Grammys in a conversation with Mac Demarco for Interview Magazine<\/em>. \u201cI forgot that I was nominated as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Parker\u2019s credit, he\u2019s Australian, and his category was awarded during the Grammy Premiere Ceremony, which airs live from Los Angeles and precedes the main telecast. This year, the Premiere Ceremony kicked off around 12:30 p.m. PST; that equates to 4:30 am. in Perth, where Parker is based.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to imagine my confusion,\u201d Parker explained to Demarco, \u201cbecause in Australia, we wake up and then we find out about what happened in America last night, so my phone has absolutely blown up. I\u2019ve got 30 messages on my phone, all saying congratulations. None of them are saying what for. And I\u2019m like, \u201cWhat for, motherfuckers?\u201d<\/p>\n

Parker secured his first Grammy in 2025, also for Best Dance\/Electronic Recording. He shared the win with Justice, for their song \u201cNeverender.\u201d Last week, Parker announced a 2026 Tame Impala tour, which will stop at arenas across the U.S. and Canada between July and mid-September. Djo and Dominic Fike will trade off support duties.<\/p>\n
